Chapter 548: Can't Stop
Zhao Yu initially figured out the mystery of the political system of the Song Dynasty, but he also knew that it was one thing to understand and another thing to use. He hasn't figured out exactly how to operate the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info, anyway, he is young and has time to spend with them, and he is not in a hurry to play with them. And at the moment, he is only in charge of the country under the order of the queen mother, although he actually controls part of the power, but nominally he has not been able to pro-government, the queen mother can deprive him of his power at the request of the courtiers at any time, and even depose him, so he can't play too much, he should endure it.
As an important means of cultivating the emperor, Zhao Yu understands that he cannot openly confront him, but it may not hurt to listen to it, and he can keep the essence and take the dross. There is a saying that yes, existence is reasonable, not to mention that science has been prevalent for hundreds of years, and it is still a classic by some people in modern times, which shows that there must be merit in it. And their intrigue skills are much more clever than the thick black of later generations, that is really scolding people without spitting out dirty words, killing people without seeing blood, and fooling the dead without paying for their lives.
Once you figure it out, your worries will be gone. But Zhao Yu still couldn't be happy, he didn't feel that he had the ability to turn decay into magic, but like Mr. Ah Q's spiritual victory method, he learned to comfort himself. However, in this unfortunate era, if you can't learn this trick, you don't know when you will be suffocated to death, or depressed and mentally ill. To compensate for his wounded heart, he ordered another chicken to be added to dinner......
"Why is it so noisy outside?" Zhao Hao looked out the window, the sky was just bright, but outside it was like a crowd of people, of course he was not happy to be woken up, and he raised the curtain and shouted.
"The official family, a large number of people have gathered outside, saying that they are here to demolish the reverse production!" A small yellow door heard it and hurriedly came in to report back.
"Demolition reverse?" Zhao Hao said suspiciously.
"Official, two days ago, the Prime Minister issued a proclamation, informing the people in the city that they could arbitrarily demolish and remove the houses and remaining belongings of the punished traitors. Don't the officials know? Xiao Huangmen replied.
"Oh, I know." Zhao Hao suddenly remembered that he had indeed said this at the court meeting, but it was wrong to think about it, and he asked, "There are thousands of rebel mansions seized in the city, why did they be demolished here so quickly?" ”
"The officials didn't know, as soon as the proclamation came out, the people in the city went crazy, and despite the continuous rain, they removed the seized houses in only two days, and it is said that not only the houses were demolished, but even the stone slabs laid in the courtyard were removed, which was cleaner than the Tartar looting." Xiao Huangmen said.
"Then the people are here to demolish Pufu today?" Zhao Yu listened and nodded, thinking in his heart that it seems that the Chinese people have a tradition of demolition, without the help of modern machinery, with only two hands can demolish thousands of houses in two days, even the floor tiles have been removed, if the city wall is demolished at this speed, I am afraid it will not take two days to raze the ground. It is estimated that if it weren't for who picked it up to whom, it wouldn't have been so efficient.
"These people are really insatiable, and now they want to demolish it, if it weren't for the guards, I'm afraid they would have rushed in a long time ago!" Xiao Huangmen said with some indignation.
"Hehe, let's dismantle it, we can't take it away anyway!" Zhao Yu smiled, in fact, it is really a pity that such a good mansion has been demolished, if it is left to future generations, it will definitely be a rare relic. However, he felt that if he didn't demolish it at this time, he might not be able to stay for a few hundred years, after all, the people in the future generations would be more ruined than himself.
"What a pity!" Little Yellow Door muttered.
"You also think it's a pity?" Although the voice was small, Zhao Yu heard it, got up and asked.
"Yes, official!" Xiao Huangmen hurriedly took a piece of clothing and put it on the little emperor and said, "The little one has never lived in such a good house since he left the palace, and it is a pity to demolish it." Besides, the official family said that we have to come back, and if we tear it down and come next time, there will be no place to live. ”
"Well, that's right, I'm going to come back in the future, so I won't tear it down yet!" Zhao Hao touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then snapped his fingers.
"The official family is serious!" Xiao Huangmen didn't expect that His Majesty would listen to his opinion, and he was pleasantly surprised.
"Of course! Before the Pu family got rid of the son, this kid came back and saw that his house had been demolished and all the people had been killed, and he couldn't help it, so he would pour his anger on the people who demolished the house, and he would have scavenged it back from them a hundredfold. Besides, you're right, it's a bit of a pity that such a good house was demolished, isn't it? Zhao Yu said seriously.
"The official is right!" Xiao Huangmen also nodded vigorously.
"Okay, then you can pass on my word that this is my way now, and you must not move without permission." Zhao Yu said.
"Yes, official, the little one will go and pass the message!" Being able to pass the word for His Majesty means that he has won the trust of the emperor, Xiao Huangmen is naturally very excited, and he is about to leave.
"Come back!" Zhao Yu stopped Xiao Huangmen again, "In addition, you can take a look at what else we can use in this courtyard, send them to the ship as soon as possible, and keep them in the palace in the future." ”
"Don't worry, the small ones will do a good job!" The little yellow door went happily.
"It's so tiring to be an emperor, you have to guard against the people around you!" Zhao Yu looked at the little yellow door happily, but sighed. Yesterday, he read the chapter about the king in "Han Feizi" at night, and according to his summary, there are eight kinds of bad people around the king, called the eight traitors, saying: in the same bed, beside him, father and brother, raising trouble, people's cuteness, popular, mighty, and Quartet.
First-class people, they are in the same bed, accompanying the king to drive a beautiful girl, the wind blows on the pillow of the mandarin duck, and the benefits are put into private pockets; The second-class people are on the side, and the cronies and attendants are bad-hearted, and the monarch who accepts bribes and slanders and deceives is happy; The third-class people are father and brother, who are ruthless and fierce, entrap ministers to beg for money, and secretly create several small courts; Fourth-class people are to raise trouble, buy and build houses, fill their private pockets and often suck blood, and make the country poor and panic.
The fifth-class people are the people's meng, giving small favors to the people, buying people's hearts and pretending to be sages, and forming groups to flicker and get money; Sixth-class people are popular, raising lobbyists to cheat on good reputations, and they are good at rhetoric, but they are actually big beasts; The seventh-class people are powerful, raising thugs and hooligans, and officials organize underworlds to harass the people and rob banks; The eighth class of people is the Quartet, and they are hidden in foreign troubles, and the giant traitors are very bastards.
After carefully pondering Han Feizi's words, Zhao Yu began to feel that he must be a particularly dark person, and he must have never been an emperor, otherwise he would not have fooled Qin Shi Huang with these words.
But it's not unreasonable to savor it, I like to be alone in a room, and even the waiters on duty let them listen and drink outside the door, isn't it just that I am worried that I can't control my mouth, and I talk nonsense in my dreams, and I leak some things in my previous life, my own plans, who I use and who I don't use, and who I hate to kill Who's secrets, so I have to sleep alone, in case I accidentally leak the secret of heaven. And it is those who are around you who are guarded.
As for the half-cut words, hiding their heads and tails, and pretending to be ghosts, isn't it because they let their subordinates see through their own details. Let Ni Liang be in charge of his own security work, but he is also afraid that those who have many eyes will cut off their heads while they are asleep and give them to Kublai Khan to receive a reward. And those soldiers who follow them say that there is no element of interest in it, and they are really wronged by it.
And those people outside refused to leave the city, most of them were also worried that their family business would be looted after they left, but when they heard that they could move other people's things back for free, they immediately turned from poor worms to robbers, and even dared to covet the emperor's presence. If the city is breached, there may be how many people will be the leading party, scrambling to lead the Yuan soldiers to catch themselves! And there will be people who stand up and say that the little emperor is cruel and unkind, how much they look forward to the arrival of the 'Wang Shi', the welcome words are ready-made, and they will be solved by changing their heads.
"I'm destined to be a loner in this life?" Zhao Yu seemed to have fallen under the spell of Han Feizi, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, no wonder the emperors were fond of being lonely and widowed, it seems that the old-timers are more conscious than themselves, and they don't suffer from gains and losses like themselves......
Soon after the message of the little yellow door, the noise gradually subsided, and Zhao Hao, who was disturbed by his dream, wanted to sleep back, but his mind was full of chaotic thoughts, but he couldn't sleep, so he simply got dressed and walked out of the door. At this moment, the sky is already bright, the rainstorm has stopped, the sky looks unusually blue, and the garden that has been damaged by wind and rain is like this Quanzhou city, and the ground is full of broken branches and leaves.
Such a messy and natural scenery, the originally clear lake water has also become turbid and abnormal, Zhao Yu circled around the lake, thinking that the Yuan army would resume the offensive after the weather was clear, and he lost interest, so he went back to the palace to have a simple breakfast and prepare to deal with the official documents. However, the things that should have been done these days have been almost done, and now there is nothing to do except for the routine report on the movements of the enemy's troops, the consumption of food and military funds, and the casualties of various units.
However, there is still something new today, that is the battle plan sent by Liu Zhu, in the court meeting a few days ago, he proposed to attack the Yuan army camp with naval rocket ships, and it is the detailed battle plan that is handed over at this time. Zhao Yu took a closer look and found that Liu Zhu was quite big, because the water level of the Jinjiang River had risen sharply after several days of heavy rain, and the large warships could already go upstream, so he wanted to dispatch 50 large warships to carry out a surprise attack on the enemy camps set up along the river with rockets and ballistas, so as to disrupt the deployment of the enemy army and reduce the pressure on the city defense infantry army.
Zhao Hao made a simple calculation, large warships are generally equipped with ten rocket launchers, and there are 500 of them, and a salvo can cover a radius of more than ten miles. Of course, the Mongols who had suffered were not unguarded, and their military camps were still some distance from the riverbank, but now the shallows had been turned into navigable waterways due to the rising water level, so that the rockets could cover a wider area.
Now the enemy's naval army is slightly better than nothing, and it has no strength to compete with the Song army, so this is a deal that only makes money and does not lose money. At the beginning of the heavy rain, the Yuan army had not had time to move to camp, which was a good opportunity to launch a surprise attack. Zhao Yu put pen to paper and prepared to approve the implementation as soon as possible, so as to attack the enemy unprepared, if it goes well, he can also burn the company camp to the enemy, and deal a major blow to the enemy, which can be described as a small profit and a big benefit.
"Your Majesty, Chief Zheng has asked for an audience!" Just as Zhao Yu was about to put down the pen, Wang De came over and said.
"Oh, there must be news coming, let him in!" Zhao Yu immediately put down his pen when he heard it.
However, Zhao Hao was a little worried in his heart, the ship failed to return on time, it would be false to say that he was not in a hurry, but he never dared to show it, and said it lightly so as not to cause panic. The wind and waves were high, the sentinel ships could not go to sea, and the enemy army besieged the city, and it was very difficult to get information by land. The only thing that can be relied on is the spies planted by the bureau in the coastal states and counties, whether the fleet is docked to shelter from the wind or destroyed in the storm, such a large fleet will not be silent, and if it sinks, there will be rotten wood and broken boards floating to the shore.
Therefore, Zhao Yu ordered the Secretariat to find out the situation as soon as possible and report it quickly, so that timely response measures could be taken. But there has been no news back, which makes him even more uneasy. If all the ships returning to the sea are sunk, and the loss is only some empty ships and sailors, but the ship returning to Qiong is full of men and supplies, the losses will be immeasurable, how can he not be anxious.
"Your Majesty, good news!" As soon as Zheng Huchen entered the room, he raised a few pieces of letterhead and said loudly.
"Oh, show me!" Zhao Yu listened to the stone in his heart and said hurriedly.
"Bring me the map!" Zhao Yu took the map and looked at it while looking for it on the map. When the last ships from Quanzhou returned to Qiongzhou and found that a storm was coming, they immediately took refuge from Hailing Island, which was only two days' journey from Qiongzhou. The returning ships arrived in the Zhangzhou area, and they found that the weather was bad and hurriedly docked on Dongshan Island to take shelter from the wind. With the exception of a few ships that were washed ashore due to improper measures, there were no major losses.
"Your Majesty, this time we were able to escape the storm disaster, all thanks to the storm bottle invented by Your Majesty, so that all fleets can get early warning and stay on the shore to avoid the wind, which is a great luck!" Zheng Huchen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw His Majesty, knowing that he was already at ease, and said again.
"Alas, God has blessed me, otherwise my sin will be great." Zhao Yu is lucky, that's tens of thousands of lives!
"They are also blessed by Your Majesty, if Your Majesty did not teach them the method of predicting wind and rain, how could they get out of danger, in the final analysis, it is Your Majesty's work!" Zheng Huchen said.
"Is there any bad news?" Zheng Huchen slapped his ass vigorously, this is too abnormal, Zhao Hao frowned and asked.
"I can't hide anything from Your Majesty's eyes, and there is news from Qiongzhou, but it's not bad news!" Zheng Huchen said and took out a piece of letterhead from his sleeve and presented it.
"That's not good news!" Zhao Yu looked at it and sighed, he was really not idle, the more he didn't want to do, the more he didn't want to do it, but he just came to the door, he really couldn't stop...... (To be continued.) )
